divan (Turkish divan , derived from Persian devan ) is a piece of sitting furniture such as a sofa or, in some countries, a box-bed based on spring.
Especially in the Middle East (especially the Ottoman Empire), a cot is a long seat made of mattresses placed on the side of the room, above the floor or on a raised structure or framework, with a cushion to lean against.
Divan accept this name because they are commonly found along the wall in the Middle East council room of an agency called divan or diwan (from Persia, meaning board or government office, from the bundle of paper they process, and further their boardroom).
Divan is a common feature of a long, domed, narrow space in the Levantine house. Divan in the sense that a sofa or sofa enters English in 1702 and has been known in Europe since the mid-18th century. It was fashionable, roughly 1820-1850, wherever romantic movements in literature penetrated. All the workspaces of the generation are decorated with divans. They spread to the coffee houses, sometimes known as Turkish divans or divans, and the cigar cigars remained a familiar expression. This is stored today in Romania as divan, , Bulgarian and Russian as ????? (divan), and Italian as Divano.
The psychoanalytic Sofa Sigmund Freud is a divan, wrapped in thick Persian rugs and pillows, given to him as a gift from a patient.
